A CHAMPION HITS THE CANVAS

Mushy Callahan, junior welterweight champion, was knocked down in the ninth round of his battle at Wrigley field last night with Sergt. Sammy Baker of New York. A second after the picture was snapped Callahan struggled to his feet, but the referee stopped the fight and Baker was given the verdict on a technical knockout. Callahan could scarcely stand.
